cooperate with the COMPANY in providing POLICE PROTECTION and to develop the necessary

and adequate consideration to justify the COMPANY'S decision to enter into this CONTRACT. The
COMPANY hereby agrees to waive any and all CLAIM(S) against the SHERIFF or the 0.C.S.D. which
arise in connection with, or as a result of, any alleged 0.C.S.D. failure to provide adequate POLICE

attorneys, or auditors (whether such persons act or acted in their personal, representative, or official
capacities), and any and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them.
A 8. "ACTUAL TOTAL COSTS" shall be defined to include the total costs actually incurred by the
0.C.S.D. attributable to the assignment of any and all DEPUTIES to provide increased POLICE
PROTECTION for any EVENT at PINE KNOB, and which shall be calculated based upon the total Actual
Number of Hours (including any part of any hour) worked by any and all DEPUTIES in providing POLICE
PROTECTION at any PINE KNOB EVENT, multiplied by the applicable Overtime Cost Rate. For purposes
of the above ACTUAL TOTAL COSTS computation, the Overtime Cost Rate shall be the most recent
applicable hourly rate established for contracts such as this CONTRACT by the Oakland County Board
ot Commissioners (which may be subject to change during the term of this CONTRACT), which, in turn,
is based upon any DEPUTY job classification's actual hourly overtime wage rate and shall also include
an additional prorated factor in recognition of applicable average DEPUTY fringe benefit, equipment, and
supply costs incurred by the 0.C.S.D. For purposes of computing the above ACTUAL TOTAL COSTS,
the total Actual Number of Hours worked by any DEPUTY shall include not only all hours worked in
providing direct POLICE PROTECTION for any EVENT at PINE KNOB, but shall also include any time
spent in the following activities: (a) any time expended transporting any person arrested by any DEPUTY
during the course of providing POLICE PROTECTION at PINE KNOB to the Oakland County Jail, in
Pontiac, Michigan, including any reasonable length of time spent at the Oakland County Jail by any
DEPUTY while booking such person(s); (b) any minimum call—in or overtime hours guaranteed to
DEPUTIES under any applicable union or employment contract, and/or (c) the performance of any
POLICE PROTECTION related duty or obligation which takes any DEPUTY away from PINE KNOB but
which began or arose while any DEPUTY was providing POLICE PROTECTION at the PINE KNOB (i.e.
hot pursuit, transporting a person for medical attention, an automobile accident occurring on the public
road immediately outside PINE KNOB grounds, etc.).
A 9. "AUTHORIZED TOTAL COSTS" shall be defined as the amount entered by the COMPANY on any
applicable REQUEST FOR PINE KNOB POLICE PROTECTION (Attachment C) in the blank provided for
AUTHORIZED TOTAL COSTS.

CONTRACT FOR PINE KNOB Attachment B
POLICE PROTECTION
ADDITIONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In addition to the INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS contained at the beginning of this CONTRACT,
the COMPANY, the COUNTY, and the SHERIFF further agree that this CONTRACT is premised upon the
following understandings, agreements and acknowledgments:
B 1. The SHERIFF, subject to the limits of available DEPUTIES and budget constraints, is authorized
by law to provide law enforcement and POLICE PROTECTION throughout the jurisdiction and territorial
limits of Oakland County and is authorized to maintain law and order within areas of his jurisdiction which
may be inadequately policed and which may require added vigilance to monitor possible criminal activity.
B 2. Many EVENTS at PINE KNOB, because of their special and occasional nature, the gathering of
exceptionally large numbers of persons, and the consumption of alcohol on the premises, presents such
unusual circumstance which justify increased and supplemental POLICE PROTECTION.
B 3. The COMPANY has confirmed that the existing local police resources serving PINE KNOB, under
the unusual circumstances created by certain PINE KNOB EVENTS, do not have sufficient law
enforcement personnel and/or police staffing and/or budget flexibility to provide all of the POLICE
PROTECTION which may be required at certain PINE KNOB EVENTS.
B 4. The COMPANY acknowledges that the same fiscal and practical restrictions which limit the
availability of local police resources also limit the ability of the SHERIFF to reassign DEPUTIES to provide
POLICE PROTECTION at PINE KNOB as part of their normal shift assignments and duties. However, the
COMPANY acknowledges that because of the relatively large number of DEPUTIES the 0.C.S.D. employs
and because many of the DEPUTIES normal work assignments and duties such as prisoner pick—ups, jail
activity, court appearances, and all court support functions (i.e. courthouse security, escorting prisoners
to trial, etc.) normally occur between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, which
is not when PINE KNOB EVENTS and consequential POLICE PROTECTION needs typically occur, and
that the 0.C.S.D. may be able to provide supplemental POLICE PROTECTION at PINE KNOB EVENTS
on an overtime basis.
B 5. The COMPANY acknowledges that, except for the prohibitive expense to the COUNTY, the
SHERIFF may be able, for most PINE KNOB EVENTS, to assign, on an overtime basis, DEPUTIES who
have already completed their normal workday and/or work week to provide POLICE PROTECTION at
certain EVENTS, without otherwise unduly interfering with efficiency, morale, and readiness of the
0.C.S.D. or its ability to meet its other law enforcement responsibilities.
B 6. The COMPANY, in recognition of the fiscal limitations of law enforcement budgets, in general, and
the 0.C.S.D., in particular, and in recognition of the special demands and needs for increased POLICE
PROTECTION at its EVENTS at PINE KNOB placed upon law enforcement, agrees to reimburse the
COUNTY for all COUNTY costs specifically incurred by the 0.C.S.D. in providing DEPUTIES, on an
overtime basis, to supplement POLICE PROTECTION at specified EVENTS at PINE KNOB.
B 7. The COMPANY has, to its satisfaction, examined the 0.C.S.D.'S wage and cost structures and
acknowledges and agrees the reimbursement that the COMPANY is to pay to the COUNTY under the
terms of this CONTRACT is not intended to result in any net financial gain or profit for the COUNTY, but
is established to guarantee that the 0.C.S.D. is fully reimbursed for any and all salary costs, on an
overtime basis, and other fringe benefit costs and expenses that the COUNTY is required to pay to, or on
behalt of, any DEPUTIES providing supplemental POLICE PROTECTION for specified EVENTS at PINE
KNOB.

CONTRACT FOR PINE KNOB Attachment B
POLICE PROTECTION
B 8. The 0.C.S.D. and the COMPANY agree and acknowledge that the supplemental POLICE
PROTECTION activities provided for under the terms of this CONTRACT are strictly limited to those
governmental law enforcement functions authorized by law and the POLICE PROTECTION provided for
under this CONTRACT are exclusively governmental activities and functions of the type and nature that
would be normally supported by tax dollars, and that this CONTRACT simply acknowledges the unusual
circumstances and increased law enforcement needs and demands created by EVENTS at PINE KNOB
and the corresponding increased financial burden on government law enforcement agencies created by
such EVENTS.
B 9. The 0.C.S.D. and the COMPANY agree and acknowledge that the sole purpose of this
CONTRACT is to provide governmental law enforcement, crime prevention and POLICE PROTECTION
services only, and that these activities are not engaged in primarily for profit, and that neither party expects
or anticipates that 0.C.S.D. will realize any profit or direct financial benefit as a result of this CONTRACT.
B 10. The COMPANY and the 0.C.S.D. acknowledge that the supplemental POLICE PROTECTION and
governmental law enforcement activities provided for under this CONTRACT could not be provided without
the financial support of the taxpayers of Oakland County who primarily fund the operation of the 0.C.S.D.
The COMPANY and the 0.C.S.D. acknowledge that without taxpayer underlying support any and all
reimbursement paid by the COMPANY could not support the annual cost to the COUNTY of a fraction of
the costs incurred in training, equipping, clothing, and paying the DEPUTIES providing POLICE
PROTECTION at PINE KNOB.
